NorelcoPhilips Series 9000, Ultimate Precision Beard and Hair Trimmer with Beard Sense Technology for an Even Trim, BT9810/40

Only used it a few times so far but so far: Does a smooth shave with and without the guard attachment; very smooth!works well; battery life seems great, I charged it for like 15 minutes and could use it right away; it feels good and solid and sturdy; easy to open and clean; it's nice that it is waterproof. The small case is nice for travel. I do not think it would be good for edging at 0.4MM shortest length, I mean it is enough to set a target line or something but you really need a razor or a shaver that goes fully down to the skin. But it is a beard trimmer, not shaver, so that is OK, I shave with something else anyways. Overall very happy with the purchase. Would be nice for $100 if it came with a couple other guards just in case yours broke though or if you wanted more length. If durability is an issue I will report back but so far it is great.

Really great trimmer. It makes me want to trim my beard because of how easy and powerful it is. It feels great in the hand and the metal clipper gives a very even trim. So much better than plastic guards which I always feel never cuts perfectly even.There is only one downside. The lowerest it can cut is 0.4mm. So if you want to do some shaping, it doesn’t get rid of all of the hair unfortunately. But if you have a razor, can use the in addition to the trimmer for shaping. I like to shape my mustash ends so it doesn’t look like a handlebar. With my old trimmer, I could do this easily by removing the guard. But with this trimmer, you can’t remove the guard, so it’s a bit inconvenient. But have a razor on hand and it can solve it. Still I would like if it could go down to 0. Bit of a bummer but overall, it’s still the best trimmer I’ve ever used. So I’m happy with it

This is a great beard trimmer, solid and well built. The thing I really like is the fact it doesn't need any additional combs/guards up to 1cm, it's all built into the sturdy metal head. There is a dial on the trimmer that enables you to set the trimming length required, this is a god send for me as I travel a lot and am forever losing the guards for my OneBlade.Downside 1 - it's a sturdy unit with a lot of metal so is therefore a lot heavier than something like the OneBlade. It's also quite big but even given it's size it works very well and allows pretty efficient smooth trimming. It's best gripped by the rubberised part at the top of the unit for the best results.Downside 2 - it uses a special proprietary connector which is not USB. It comes with a 120V charger so not much use when travelling outside of countries that don't have 120V. You can get a USB C to special connector adapter from Yinke which seems to work well so far but means another thing to lose when travelling.Downside 3 - to do precision lines and edges you'll still need something like a OneBlade.I've given this a 4/5 rather than a 5 due to the downsides but overall a great product all the same.

Seriously, this shaver is a game changer. The metal quality on it feels super premium and durable, like it's built to last. What I really love is that I don't need a million different attachments to get the job done; it just works perfectly as is. The shave is incredibly close and comfortable, without any irritation. Charging is quick, and it holds a charge for ages. My only tiny, tiny complaint is that the travel case feels a little basic compared to the shaver itself, but that's really minor. This thing is a winner.

Well made, hefty with a steel surface. Blade and comb are made of steel as well. Works great for trimming. Battery lasts for several days. Fully waterproof, which is really convenient.

I've been looking for a high quality beard trimmer for years and years. It didn't seem to me that anyone was interested in making a Sonicare-quality trimmer, something that will last a decade +. I've tried the i-Stubble (two different versions), manscaped, some other podcast DTC brand that escapes me, all claiming to be premium. They were are made of plastic with crappy ceramic/dull blades, made to be replaced when the warranty expires. I'd use them until the blades wouldn't cut, then try to buy a better one.The entire time, I've been using the same Sonicare. It's over 10 years old, never any issues. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to try Philips for a beard trimmer. This is Sonicare level. All-metal blade and guide assembly, nothing to grow brittle and shatter. It cuts in one pass, likely because the tolerances are staying tight longer. Simple, robust adjustment mechanism. Waterproof cleaning. And it's a bargain if you're in the habit of replacing your beard trimmer every two years like I was.

Easily has the best set of cutters I've ever used, adjustment mechanism appears to be very solid and reliable, battery power is great and it has a nice heft to it. Adjustment range is good, but probably not the right tool for bushy beards. Mine's definitely not like that so it works great. Only dig I have is the battery power meter only seems to show when the unit is powered on, and I rarely think to check it as a result.
